6-Axis Long-Flute Tool Grinding Machine



Rollomatic has announced a new tool grinding machine model, GrindSmart 528XF, that is particularly suited for long drills and other rotary cutting tools up to 12 mm (.470") diameter.

This machine is furnished with a traveling workhead that allows drills with a flute length between 10" and 12" to be efficiently produced. The machine has two distinctive features:

  • Drill steady rest that can compensate for back taper as well as a combination of back taper and cylindrical drill relief. This steady rest is dedicated for drills.
  • Shank guidance system designed for quick set-up.

Among other options is a camera to locate coolant holes down to 0.05 mm diameter. The machine comes standard with a 20 HP synchronous spindle giving precisely constant spindle speeds, enlarged coolant supply and a six-station wheel/nozzle changer.

In addition, its versatility permits other solid carbide drills, high-performance endmills and other types of rotary cutting tools to be manufactured. The machine runs on Rollomatic's software platform VirtualGrindPro.
